On this day in 1999, NATO planes dropped cluster bombs on the center of Nis. In Sumatovačka Street, near the city market, just next to the Fortress, 16 innocent civilians were killed, including a pregnant woman in the seventh month of pregnancy. On the same day more than 60 people were killed from cluster bombs in Serbia. On the occasion of remembering this day and the civilian casualties the official city delegations paid their respect by laying flower wreaths at Monument dedicated to the victims of NATO bombing. Since 2015, May 7th was established as a Day of Remembrance for Civilian Victims of the NATO Aggression when it was first marked within the State Program of Celebrating Anniversaries of Historical Events of the Liberation Wars of Serbia
